Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a process for control of desired properties in the polymer product. The catalyst system used in the process includes a supported metallocene catalyst precursor in combination with an oxyorganoaluminum. The process can be applied to the co-polymerization of propylene and ethylene. The randomness of the ethylene incorporation of the co-polymer product is increased as the amount of ethylene in the feed is increased. The amount of ethylene in the feed is up to 6 wt% with a resulting amount of ethylene incorporated into the copolymer product up to 4 mole %.
